What Filee does for DWG → PDF
Send drawings to clients, site teams or print shops who don't have AutoCAD: a PDF opens on any PC or phone. Several drawings can be merged into one PDF.
- Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
- No AutoCAD or DWG viewer needed.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
DWG can also become

About DWG and PDF
PDF document
PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere: fonts, layout and images are fixed and it opens on any device. That also makes PDFs hard to edit.
